Some interesting & important facts about animals and plants.
One of the basic rules of
articles/posts/notes’ writing is that no author should write that way so that the
potential readers would feel stupid and incompetent. Probably some people would
be offended by this post/note of mine (if it shows their ignorance), but I hope
even they would agree such info could help anyone to discover the wonders of
our world, to correct some mistakes many of us do all the time, to change our
opinion about the “nasty” or “scary” creatures we come across every day. Being
graduated in biology, I couldn’t refrain from posting some of these facts, in
brief (I use many similar in some of my books too):
Plants are living beings, so they do
breathe as all the animals, though they “inhale” oxygen mostly in the daytime,
and “exhale” carbon dioxide in the night.
Chickens are the most common birds in
the world, not pigeons or sparrows, we could find them on almost every
continent, not in the coldest places only.
Whales and dolphins are not fish,
they are mammals and breathe air like every other terrestrial beings. The
easiest way to distinguish such sea mammals from fish would be to have a look
at their tails. All the modern sea mammals have horizontal tails, which are a
perfect tool to dive and come out to the surface to breathe air. Fish’s tails
are vertical.
To cut a worm in two pieces doesn’t
make two worms, though the creature regenerates. The part with the end
regenerates an end where it is cut, so soon after that it could not do all the
vital things which keep it alive.
Just because crocodiles live most of
the time in water doesn’t make them amphibians. They are reptiles, terrestrial
beings that like water. The best way to find out which element of nature is primal
for any species is to see where that species breed (so, crocodiles are
terrestrial, frogs are amphibian).
Spiders are not insects, thought they
are close-related. Insects are at a higher state of evolution, they have 6
legs, spiders have 8.
Birds hate to be touched and
caressed, as that way we usually ruffle their feathers (it takes a lot of time
to set them right, it seems). Yet, they all like to be touched and caressed on
the head, there and then the feeling is similar to the one they feel when they
scratch their heads with their claws.
Plesiosaurs and pterodactyls are not
dinosaurs, they belong to different groups, which are close to that of
dinosaurs, yet not exactly the same.
The adult moths don’t eat our
clothes, they don’t have a mouth or any digestive tract, their larvae are the
ones who we have to blame…
All the mosquitoes that bite us and
carry all those awful deceases are females; males eat nectar from flowers… etc.

jokes after the middle of the week and before the weekend...;)
"But I've heard there were a lot of applause?"
"That was only when the eggs hit them..."
When they asked some teachers to name three reasons why they like their job, they all answered: "June, July and August..."
"Now what's your excuse?" asked a teacher a schoolboy who was late for school again.
"I saw a lady who lost 100 $..."
"Oh, and you helped her to find them?"
"Not exactly... I stepped and stood on them until she left..."
What is trash for some people, maybe gold for others... from my future Incredible Future :). Have a nice rest of the week, everyone!

Can worst criminals become sane and carrying people?
All our history is checkered with disgusting crimes of
murder, torture, rapes, etc. That’s why some of the killers and criminals
responsible for these dreadful events became so famous with their illegal actions
that probably many real celebrities envied them for their notoriety.
On the other hand, a lot of other innocent men, women
and children, who experienced such crimes, couldn’t sleep well for week, years,
or until the end of their days because of these vile acts (if they survived the
worst criminals’ way to earn their living). Most of these victims would always
claim the disgusting people who caused them so much trouble and pain must endure
the most severe punishments. The poor sufferers would underline the guilty for
their inevitable situation deserve such a fate, no matter whether they repented
themselves of their previous sins or of what made them ruin many innocent citizens
and villagers’ future. Of course, after the horrible events from their past,
the innocent victims have every right to think that way (criminals like the
pedophile who a couple of years ago raped and after that killed a six year old
girl in Bulgaria deserve the nastiest, most extreme and merciless end). Yet, it
doesn’t mean many of the sentenced criminals couldn’t regret for their dreadful
crimes in the future. Of course, this shouldn’t be considered a good excuse for
the total remission of their sins and punishments. Though it should take its
place amongst the reasons why, if not all, then many (or most) of the horrible gangsters
and murderers could really change their frame of mind, behaviour, way of life,
etc for better…
“Deep down
even the most hardened criminal is starving for the same thing that motivates
the innocent baby: Love and acceptance.” This quote of Lily
Fairchilde made me become more wrapped in this subject and remember some
details about some of the horrible outlaws’ past and deeds. The same details
probably helped the one who said this sentence to realize the truth in such a
statement. Many of the sentenced or still free criminals have good families,
carrying wives, children who have the best education possible, their friends
enjoy many benefits such not-perfect but wealthy persons could offer, etc… I
guess people who have kind thoughts like these together with the enormous striving
for the so called “greatness” in the crimes’ world are capable of turning into
something like decent human beings? If the will is there on their part, of
course…
It’s a well-known fact that every
fact (scientific
or any other) and rule have their exceptions. So, there certainly are such
gangsters and all other types of criminals (including politicians) who wouldn’t
change their behaviour and way of life even for all the gold in the world. If
there is such an offer, I even bet some of them would gladly take the enormous
quantity of precious metal and would continue with their disgusting deeds, even
more than before (when Al Capone was killing people for example, he had such a
brain waves’ picture as the vicious predators in the animal world when they try
to “earn their living”… Probably only death could put an end to such a way of
thinking and life…).
The subject of the changes that the
worst criminals could go through is so vast that anyone could write a novel
about it I guess. But a blog post/note like this should just point out some
basic facts and details and leave enough space for comments? Which complete the
author’s thoughts and opinion?

Jack The Giant Slayer – one of the ancient fairy-tales told in a better way.
“As a king I could pay you a lot of gold, as a
father I will never be able to pay you back…” This line from the movie Jack The
Giant Slayer (I can’t remember the exact words, actually, but the meaning was
the same) was one of the many things in this
old-story-told-in-a-better-modern-way that would make any fan realize motion
pictures could improve and develop the old fairy-tales and be much better, wiser
or even funnier than the one-time adventures our parents used to put us to bed
with.
I guess many fantasy fans and critics would say the
movie is too naive and childish, yet everyone should agree it’s a fairy-tale
and everything there should be much different than our everyday boring routine.
That’s why any critic should admire the good job the movie crew have done
creating the breath-taking plot, the amazing fairy-tale creatures, the brave
deeds or some characters’ wise thoughts. Motion pictures like Jack The Giant
Slayer could really inspire any fantasy fan to show some brave actions, to look
not only for the amazing special effects in such movies but for wise thoughts
and quotes too, and to have such fun in the movie hall as it could never happen
with another story about our modern life…
Actually, if you’ve seen The Hobbit before Jack The
Giant Slayer, you wouldn’t be so impressed by the special effects in the
fairy-tale with the magical beans. At moments, the giants are as “good-looking”
as some of the orcs, yet as a whole the costumes and the horrible creatures
from Bilbo Baggins’ story were more impressive. It doesn’t mean, of course,
that the other qualities of Jack’s story are not good enough. A friend of mine
from UK
said it was a typical English movie, showing some good sides of monarchy too (noble
thoughts and actions of kings and princesses, their compassion and honorable
behavior, etc). I guess this motion picture could become another reason for
English people to love their queen?
Jack, The Giant Slayer includes some horrible scenes,
I have to admit, and though we are accustomed to such violence in movies
already (it couldn’t be put in a row with real horror motion pictures, of course,
like Friday 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, etc), some people with
faint hearts should close their eyes at some of the dreadful moments… Anyway,
the excellent crew is another plus for the movie: Nicholas Hoult as Jack is a typical hero from most fairy-tales we’ve
read, Eleanor Tomlinson is amazing and not typical princess from most of the
stories form our childhood, Ewan McGregor is a great guardian and soldier, Stanley Tucci is perfect as a traitor, Bill Nighy is one of the nastiest and most cunning giants you’d
ever see, Ian McShane is a king many countries would be proud of, etc…

Happy April's Fool Day, everyone :)!
Happy April's Fool day, everyone! Hope your lies/pranks were/are/will be better and more than those of the other who try to lie and make a fun of you...:). Anyway, a few good jokes could make the day perfect even for the victims of the others' pranks and lies:
THE POLISH DIVORCE -(Joke shared
by Avinash Kamat)
A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.
Although his English was far from perfect, they got
along very well.
One day he rushed into a lawyer's office
and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for
him.
The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend
on the circumstances,
and asked him the following questions:
Have you any grounds?
Yes, an acre and half and nice little home.
No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?
It made of concrete.
I don't think you understand.
Does either of you have a real grudge?
No, we have carport, and not need one.
I mean what are your relations like?
All my relations still in Poland .
Is there any infidelity in your marriage?
We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player.
Does your wife beat you up?
No, I always up before her.
Is your wife a nagger?
No, she white.
Why do you want this divorce?
She going to kill me.
What makes you think that?
I got proof.
What kind of proof?
She going to poison me.
She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in
bathroom.
I can read English pretty good, and it say:
...POLISH REMOVER..!!
"Your weight is not compatible with your height" said a diet expert to a fat guy. "You see now," the fat guy said to his friends. "I'm tall, not fat!!!"
All the kids have imaginary friends, only those who train martial arts have imaginary enemies... from my future Kids' Funny Business, or Space Parasites.
